I claim as my invention:

1. A velocipede fender comprising a right hand and a left hand sectioneach of substantially inverted Licross section, the upper edges of saidsections being turned downwardly and joined together, axle supportingperforations in each of said sections, and closely adjacent thereto aplu rality of outwardly extending members formed of a portion of thefender.

2. A velocipede fender comprising two substane each secof definitelyspaced and aligned apertures, the edges of certain of said aperturesbeing turned inwardly to forman axle certain of said apertures beingturned outwardly to form hollow cylinders, and at least two of saidcylinders being adapted to pass through openings in a velocipede frame,and be secured therein.

3. A velocipede ings having inwardly curved upper portions terminatingin downwardly turned edges and substantially flat lower edges, saidstampings being joined along the'downwardly turned edges and said loweredges being spaced apart, and tubular means formed of a portion of eachstamping for securing said fender to a velocipede. I

4. A velocipede fender comprising two stampings joined-along the upperedges thereof, said joined portions extending downwardly andinwardly,mand the sides and lower edges of said stampings being spacedapart, a plurality of tongue receiving apertures in each stamping andtubular means formed of a portion ofthe stamption having a plurality ingitself for secur ng said fender to a velocipede.

5.,A velocipede fender comprising two aperturedstarnpings joined alongtheupper edges thereof, said joined portions extending down- I the sidesand lower edges of said 's'tampings being spaced apart, having tonguesadapted to extend through certainof the apertures in said stamping, andan aligned drawneck axle receiving aperture in each spaced apart, an

fender comprising two stampside of said fender, the extending part ofsaid apertures being directed inwardly. I

6. A velocipede fender comprising two stampings joined along the upperedges thereof, said extending downwardly and inedgesof said stampingsbeing spaced apart, an aligned drawneck axle receiving aperture in eachside of said fender, the extending partof said apertures being directedinwardly, and a plurality of outwardly extending securing members formedin each fender.
